THE PERILS OF RELYING ON ON-LINE SYNOPSES

should be evident to everyone. Still, this summary of The Lord of the Rings is quite entertaining. This account has, apparently, snared at least one unwary reporter for the London Sunday Times. I looked up the article on Factiva just to make sure the reference wasn't a hoax as well. It appears to be the real thing. (h/t to Somewhere That's Green)

Absolutely breathtaking - it's full of actual details from the books, but so twisted it defies comprehension how someone came up with this, it's as if it were a real description of an alternate-universe version of LOTR. Sam and Ungoliant have a tense argument about the nature of good and evil?heeheeeeee...
